So after an hour on the phone with tech support (level 1 and 2), I have to go into a Verizon store to get a new Bold 9930.

Here's the back story:

I got my Bold a few days ago and tried to connect it to my home WiFi network. It shows a solid connection with the SSID at the top with white bars. But I can't get it to browse to any webpage while on WiFi. As soon as I turn it off, it works just fine. By the way, 3G connection + the new browser = a quick experience.

So with all the battery pulls, and reloaded the OS...there is nothing they can do.

That's crazy, as I was telling you earlier today, my Wifi is working just fine.

Mine worked very fine and is working fine but I'm still confused as to the connection that my browser is using when I'm connected to wifi and 3g at the same time. Can someone please tell me?

The Wifi should automatically override your 3G when it's connected.

That's the wonderful thing about BlackBerrys that I love. RIM designed them to always use WiFi when available and they also tried to design their apps to do the same. Some apps do need to have the data on at the same time, so don't turn it off, but they will still use WiFi first if available.

So on my replacement Bold...still no WiFi :(. It must have something to do with my CableOne router.
